Next-generation tissue engineering
Contact usMorphoMed aims to become a leading development company for tissue engineering of ligaments and tendons based on its proprietary medical silk technology, thus leading to tissue regeneration and recovery of the body’s own functional tissue.
Our technology platform
“To morph” means “to transform in appearance, form or character”. In our case, MorphoMed’s novel silk-based tissue engineering scaffolds are transformed into new body tissue. While the silk scaffold undergoes slow biological degradation, a new ligament
or tendon is formed
including aligned collagen fiber bundles, vascularization and anchoring bone tissue.
In the future, the principle of tissue regeneration will become one of the most important sectors of modern medical device technology, since all implants, be they steel, polymers or other materials, have their limitations and will never fully mimic human tissue, especially not in the long term.
About us
MorphoMed, a MedTech Start-Up company founded in Vienna in May 2017 focusses on the development of new regenerative ligament and tendon implants based on its proprietary medical silk technology. MorphoMed is a spin-off of the Ludwig Boltzmann Institute for Experimental and Clinical Traumatology in the AUVA Trauma Research Center.
